Welcome to the Logs4Labour Home page

Wherever you see this logo, you know you are in touch with the community Wood-fuel scheme based around Haslemere and Chiddingfold. Supported by Chiddgreen, The National Trust at Swan Barn Farm and Transition Haslemere, we aim to bring local woodlands back into sustainable management, and produce renewable fuel in the form of logs – for wood-burners. Open to all, not-for-profit, lots of fun.

NEWS for 2016-17

New! Yeoman roles for regulars to help build a skills base and pass on knowledge and methods to new people.

All this is made possible through generous support from our friends. If you have skills you are happy to share, or can help with renovating and maintaining our hand-tools, contact us.

Many Thanks to Nikki Barton, Independent Surrey County Council Councillor for Haslemere, who last year approved a £300 grant to help Logs4Labour purchase tools

There is no membership fee. Events are free and open to all, unless otherwise mentioned in the event particulars.
Participation by volunteering labour in the woods is essential to get wood – this differentiates Logs 4 Labour from a firewood business.

Logs are collected at the end of events – a small donation is requested to keep the scheme going – Costs include insurance, tool maintenance and refreshments.

A carload should be about £10. Big cars more, please.

Marketing

TH and CG market the scheme and events. Interested people are added to a Logs 4 Labour mailing list, a subset of the TH mailing
list. TH and CG publicise Logs 4 Labour on their websites, at events and farmers market stall.

Hi we met in the summer when I was scouring woodland owners for some softwood logs. I am still looking for 10 x 6-8ft logs that I can mill 5″ beams from. Looking to purchase at roadside. Looking for the logs as soon as possible. Are you able to help. Many thanks Julian
